They believe they are right! The questioner is unlikely to get very helpful answers, to a question that is as unspecific as the one posed!
Who did David Mitchell vote for in the British Election?
The Lib Dems.
If Nick Clegg and the Lib Dems are polling in second place ahead of labor with Tories out in front why is it that the news channels are still stating that labor will end up with the most seats?
For some ridiculous reason I couldn't make the question long enough, so I will expand. Current polls have Tories on around 33% of the popular vote, Lib Dems on 32% and Labour way back on around 25%. Yet the new channels are stating that Labour will still gain most seats, with Lib Dems trailing well back. Now, I may sound stupid here, but if a party is gaining 1/3 of the popular vote, how is it that they aren't expected to get 1/3 of the seats in the commons? Have I totally misunderstood our voting system, or is it really that rubbish?
Which two parties are currently sharing power in the British Government?

What government does Great Britain have?
Since May 11 2010, the United Kingdom has had a coalition government between the centre-right Conservative and Unionist Party and the centrist Liberal Democrats. Conservative leader David Cameron serves as Prime Minister, with Liberal Democrat leader Nicholas ("Nick") Clegg as his Deputy Prime Minister. This is the first coalition government since the end of the Second World War in 1945, and only coalition in UK history to be formed as the result of an election. No party won a majority of seats (326 of 650) in the last election on May 6 2010, with the opposition Conservatives winning 306 seats and the then-ruling Labour Party just 258. This left the third-placed Lib Dems on 57 seats; as the Conservatives won more votes and seats, the Lib Dems decided to form a governmwnt with the Conservatives, and so the coalition controls a strong majority in the House of Commons (363 of 650 seats; an overall majority of 76, larger than the last Labour government's third term majority from 2005 to 2010).In the Cabinet, portfolios are allocated roughly proportionate to each party's parliamentary strength, with slight preference towards the Lib Dems: the Conservatives have 18 members of the Cabinet whilst the Lib Dems have 5 (1 more Lib Dem and 1 less Conservative than would be allocated under true proportionality). However, Conservative policy still overwhelmingly dominates the government's agenda, and thus critics sometimes describe it as a Conservative-led government.
